I am surprised nobody suggested we put those two methods into a separate module (say dictutils or even UserDict) as functions:
from dictutils import tally, listappend tally(mydict, key) listappend(mydict, key, value) I am -1 about a specific subclass of dict in the standard library, I would not mind about a few new functions in an utility module. Michele Simionato -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
